Cases of this kind are adduced by Schleich and Mayer, in dogs, in which
there was a corresponding bulging or even an absence (_coloboma_) of the
choroid and retina. With a large protrusion of the sclera behind, there
was a shrinkage of the front of the globe (_microphthalmos_), so that an
atrophy might be suspected. The condition is irremediable.
